Answer:Under the Zhou Dynasty, China moved away from worship of Shangdi (“Celestial Lord”) in favor of worship of Tian (“heaven”), and they created the Mandate of Heaven. According to this idea, there could be only one legitimate ruler of China at a time, and this ruler reigned as the “Son of Heaven” with the approval of the gods. If a king ruled unfairly he could lose this approval, which would result in his downfall. Overthrow, natural disasters, and famine were taken as a sign that the ruler had lost the Mandate of Heaven.The Mandate of Heaven did not require a ruler to be of noble birth, and had no time limitations. Instead, rulers were expected to be good and just in order to keep the Mandate. The Zhou claimed that their rule was justified by the Mandate of Heaven. In other words, the Zhou believed that the Shang kings had become immoral with their excessive drinking, luxuriant living, and cruelty, and so had lost their mandate. The gods’ blessing was given instead to the new ruler under the Zhou Dynasty, which would rule China for the next 800 years.The need for the Zhou to create a history of a unified China is also why some scholars think the Xia Dynasty may have been an invention of the Zhou. The Zhou needed to erase the various small states of prehistoric China from history, and replace them with the monocratic Xia Dynasty in order for their Mandate of Heaven to seem valid (i.e., to support the claim that there always would be, and always had been, only one ruler of China).The Zhou ruled until 256 BCE, when the state of Qin captured Chengzhou. However, the Mandate of Heaven philosophy carried on throughout ancient China.
A medieval european was most likely a serf, peasant, or a craftsman of some sort. These people represented the majority of the living populace in Europe in the middle ages. Their homes were simple, without excess luxury. They had the most basic necessities, but did not have much more, because they could not afford it. Families often lived together in huts where there was only one big space with a kitchen and a gathering place somewhere in the middle. Most European citizens at the time weren't educated, farmers, peasants, and serfs usually did not receive any formal education or very little, if they were lucky enough to be taught by the local priest or had somebody in their family that was educated. Their leisure activities were different from what we would call leisure activities today, they could singing, dancing, drinking, storytelling, etc. but how they did these things was quite different compared to today.

Answer:
The Bill of Rights protects our most cherished rights, including free speech, freedom of religion, and trial by jury. But the Bill of Rights starts with the words “Congress shall make no law.” It doesn't say “The states shall make no law.” In 1833, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the Bill of Rights means what it says.
